According to WorkSafe, fatigue is an acute and or ongoing state that leads to physical, mental or emotional exhaustion and prevents people from functioning safely.

Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, employers must provide and maintain, so far as is reasonably practicable, a working environment that is safe and without risks to the health of employees. This includes taking steps to prevent and respond to work-related fatigue.

The Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance defines the following as common attributes of a mentally healthy workplace:

-Positive Workplace Culture: Put simply, people feel good about coming to work, and everyone is encouraged and supported.

-Stress and Other Risks to Mental Health are Managed: Stress, heavy workloads, unrealistic deadlines, poor communication, uncertainty – these and other factors can all contribute to anxiety and depression, and it is up to managers and leaders to keep them in check.
